Summer Shakespeare Shorts The Summer Shakespeare Shorts will be held from August 21st - 23rd and will be part of the summer concert series. Aurelia secured 2 speakers, but is in need of mixers, mic stands, and mics. S.

The actual establishment date was May 23, 2016, and the first meeting was on August 16, 2016. QUESTION: Do we want to do a social media post on our actual "birthday"? There is ongoing discussion about doing something to celebrate or honor the milestone: Banners: Public Works said they will print us parade float banners (two 1x14’s) and a banner for the back of our pop-up tent (9’ x 60”). They can also print us any 2’x3’ signs we want for sandwich boards to have at events. No cost for in-house printing. T-Shirts: Dannielle has done some preliminary research on t-shirts for the MAC through Ultimate Screen Printing in Mundelein. The budget is around $400. At the last meeting, the MAC agreed to do screen printed tees in a black or almost-black shade. The graphic will feature the MAC logo on the front in full color (small on left chest) and a larger single-color graphic on the back listing major accomplishments and projects. Erin has ordered samples of two different soft-style shirts in two colors each. They are expected to arrive Monday or Tuesday. If they arrive Monday, we will bring them to the meeting. Recommendation: Page 11 of 39 Page 12 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Public Art Plan Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: No updates at this time Recommendation: Page 13 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Lure of the Local Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The next step for Lure of the Local is to develop an application form. This year, we hope to create a form that efficiently translates to curation, artist emailing, and label creation. Stacee has announced the theme for Lure of the Local 2026: "Love Letters". Staff is working on a thematic graphic to go with a "save the date" posting. Write up: LURE OF THE LOCAL 5 / LOVE LETTERS MAC 10th Anniversary Year Dear Artists and Community Members, Lure of the Local 5 is on the Horizon! This year the Mundelein Arts Commission is Celebrating its 10th Anniversary! The Lure of the Local Series is a curated art exhibition highlighting local artists, makers, and performers. We are pleased to announce this year’s theme: Love Letters. From the quiet anticipation of writing a love letter to the joy of receiving one, this simple act captures something deeply human. Few things express longing, connection, and vulnerability quite like it—art offers a powerful way to explore those emotions. Let this theme be a springboard for your own interpretation of what Love Letters mean to you. Your subject might be a person, a pet, a garden, a season, a favorite meal, or even a fleeting moment. What you love—and how you choose to honor it—is each artist's unique vision. In this fast-paced age of texting, the idea of a love letter is nostalgic and tactile, present. What makes you pause in awe? What image or thing can truly embody love? Is love a fairy tale or fantasy? What artistic process do you lose yourself in like falling in love? New this year: We are looking for proposals for a community artwork that will be interactive and engage our visitors of all ages. Official *FREE* Applications will open by June 15, 2026. Artists of any Page 14 of 39 medium may apply. The exhibition will open Oct 16, 2026. PORTALS Artist Residencies will be announced soon. The exhibition and residency will take place at the Archer Business Center, same location as the previous year (175 N. Archer, Mundelein). Allison Hausladen Workshop One other update – Allison Hausladen asked whether the MAC would be open to hosting a repeat of her mobile workshop Watercolors at Courtland Commons. It was an outdoor watercolor painting workshop of the wildlife at Courtland Commons, featuring a guest speaker (Amanda Orenchuk) who spoke about the development of the stormwater basin and park. The original workshop was sparsely attended due to weather and late notice planning. If the MAC is interested in hosting Allison again (outside of the structure of Lure of the Local), it would be helpful to have one commissioner assigned to liaising with Allison. She is self-sufficient, but will need assistance choosing a date and developing messaging for social media. UPDATE: No action on this yet. Recommendation: Page 15 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Indoor Art Program Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: At the February meeting, the MAC approved a purchase of the 3-piece collection Big Impact by Allison Hausladen, who was an artist resident and also the winner of the Critic’s Choice Award. We will be ordering a stainless steel plaque (<$100) with the title, artist, and description. The piece will be displayed at the Village Hall on the “blue wall” running along the staircase to the 2nd floor (see photo below). Stacee and Allison visited the Village Hall to determine a location. The payment has been issued and provided to the artist. The pictures are currently at Apple Frame Studio in Mundelein, which are estimated to be ready around May 18th. The price of framing was $888.60. Page 16 of 39 Recommendation: Page 17 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Stars on Parade Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The artist, Xitlally Garcia, is working on her star. She said it’s moving a little slower than anticipated because she is busy with school. The pad is installed at the Pollinator Garden. The Beautification Committee has processed her final payment of $250 in anticipation of the completion of the star. We have asked the artist if she can finish the artwork by July 1st, and she agreed. There will be one remaining cost of $400 for the topcoat. Recommendation: Page 18 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Hand Sculpture Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The artist, Meg White, is still working on the hand sculpture. Staff requested another update from her on her delivery date expectation, with a hard deadline of the end of May. An installation date is not currently scheduled, but the artist is aware of the deadline and has not expressed a need for an extension. Either way, we have processed her 2nd payment of $8,500 so that it comes out of the current fiscal year budget. We are holding the check until installation. She continues to share regular YouTube videos from her channel about its making, found at www.youtube.com/@possmom8. In the meantime, the public is suggesting many names for the sculpture. Staff will bring a printed list of the name suggestions for the MAC to review and curate for a public vote. So far, 52 suggestions have been made. YouTube video on May 13, 2026: Page 19 of 39 Recommendation: Page 20 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Community Days (Booth and Parade) Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The supplies for the parade float have been purchased for $425.99 (beads and float decorations). The Commission should create a plan for decorating the float (who, where, when). The craft booth this year will feature sand art to use up the MAC's large supply of sand and bottles. There will be the choice of star-shaped bottles and USA-shaped bottles. It is scheduled for Friday, July 3rd from 2-4 PM. Recommendation: Page 21 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Scholarship Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The 2026 awardees are as follows: • Charles Konczal – Illinois Wesleyan University • Kellie McQuillan – Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University • Ysabella Pacis – Otis College of Art and Design The payments have been processed and mailed to the school. Colleen B. and Aurelia attended the MHS Award Ceremony to present the scholarship certificates.

Page 22 of 39 Recommendation: Page 23 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Summer Shakespeare Shorts Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: Aurelia, Dannielle, and Sue are working with The Kirk Players on logistics for this year’s Summer Shakespeare Shorts collaboration. They will report on any other updates. The performance will be held on August 21, 22, and 23 at the Kracklauer Park gazebo. The August 23rd performance will double as the Summer Concert Series feature for that week, and will be advertised on that schedule as well. Page 24 of 39 Page 25 of 39 Recommendation: Page 26 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Mundelein Grand Prix Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: The Mundelein Grand Prix is scheduled for Monday, July 20, 2026. The MAC purchased anticipated supplies out of the previous year budget: • Spray chalk from Blick - $516.46 • Stick chalk from Eternity Arts - $107.95 • Cowbells from PPP (color: pink) - $825.54 The only other costs expected would be additional spray chalk (if the current supply doesn't match the artists' actual selection) and the honorariums for the crosswalk art. Staff is working on the form and announcement for the crosswalk art opportunities. It is expected to go live by the end of May. There will be 4 available spots. Colleen B. has assisted with finding singers for the national anthem (one for Men's Pro Race and one for Women's Pro Race). Recommendation: Page 27 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: S’Murals Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: Tony Cannoli S'Mural Update • Ava McQuain is the chosen artist for the mural at Tony Cannoli. • Honorarium: $1,100 (artist must purchase materials, MAC will prime wall). This will come out of the MAC's budget. • Ava is currently away at school and intends to complete the mural over the summer. We need a W-9 form from her to proceed with a payment, but we have not heard back from her in a while. East Hawley S'Murals Update • Two murals are proposed on East Hawley Street: 1. West wall of 662 E. Hawley (Dragon Star/Nana's Rum Cakes) 2. East wall of 444 E. Hawley (American Patriot Store) • Honorarium: $1,500 each. This is funded by the Communications and Marketing Manager, not the MAC. • Chris, Colleen M., and the marketing manager met to narrow the selection down to two artists. Staff will be reaching out to the property owners to get approval of the artwork before getting in touch with the selected artists. • This project was originally intended to be done within the FY2026 budget, but was not able to move quickly enough. The murals will likely take place over the summer. Page 28 of 39 Ideally, all three of the S’Murals could be installed around the same time to create efficiencies and market them simultaneously as one project. Recommendation: Page 29 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Set Sail North / Record Fair / Music Theme Farmers Market Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: At the January meeting, Seth brought background details provided by the organizers of the Set Sail North festival and the record sale fair. He has been in contact with Tighthead Brewing Company, and will report on any updates. Seth has also reached out to MCC, as the available date (September 20) coincides with the 2nd day of the Mundelein Arts Festival. Some discussion items from the last meeting: • How to take tickets - have someone posted in the hallway leading to the side room? • Tighthead can plan to reserve a food truck for that day. • Should we provide a small stipend for the musicians? • Should a drink ticket come with admission? • The cost to rent a sound system will be about $500. • Colleen M. needs to talk to the Finance Dept. about the financial logistics (i.e. how to take in donations via sold tickets and then donate it to the Fremont Food Pantry). Seth and Chris have also been coordinating a new music-themed Farmers Market week, involving vinyl record sale booths. They will report on any updates. Recommendation: Page 30 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Art Pantries Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: At a previous meeting, Chris introduced the idea for “Art Pantries”, similar to the “Free Little Libraries” concept (take artwork, leave artwork). The MAC should continue to explore this idea further. Chris has spoken to the Tool Library, who is interested in partnering and will get back to her. There are hundreds of patterns online. Chris will talk to Public Works next about logistics. Recommendation: Page 31 of 39 To: Mayor and Board of Trustees From: Colleen Malec, Senior Planner For: Mundelein Arts Commission Meeting of May 18, 2026 Subject: Beautification Committee Updates Financial Impact: Attachments: None Background: C.

The $150 invoice for annual ArtsLink North dues has been paid.

In summary: • The Mundelein Park and Recreation District will no longer be involved in the Arts Festival. • Mundelein Community Connection (MCC) is taking over organization. • Adler Arts Center is taking over artist outreach and organization. • The MAC (Stacee) will take on artwork jurying in partnership with the Adler Arts Center. There was some interest in a MAC booth at the festival, so the commission should discuss logistics.
